I am trying to install Landroid bridge according to the github page. I first tried the “Build from Source” instructions, but NPM did not work.So I installed docker and am trying the docker instructions on the page. I get the above error. MQTT was installed with openhabian-config. I have the binding installed and waiting. I updated the landroid-bridge config.json to use port 3030 so as not to interfere with my eventual influx/Grafana.

Are there missing steps in the github instructions?

The github page describes the following:

Since you’re not running MQTT in a container I would start by removing the --link mqtt:mqtt parameter from the docker run command.

EDIT: After some snooping around the dockerfiles on the git page, I tried this:

  1. sudo git clone https://github.com/virtualzone/landroid-bridge.git
  2. cd /landroid-bridge
  3. Modify config.json (and for me Dockerfile.rpi to update port to 3030)
  4. Ran the following command within landroid-bridge directory:
    docker build -t virtualzone/landroid-bridge:arm32v7 -f Dockerfile.rpi .

Which failed at the same npm grunt point as when trying the manual install:

I’m going crazy here for the last 3 weeks on this same problem. I was under the impression that it was common to run openHAB and associated services on the RPi, but this just is not working. Really hoping someone that has done this can provide me with the right steps.

This has nothing to do with openHAB though.
